On 27 October 2016 it is time for the next Oil & Gas Reinvented event. The theme this time will be “System Integration in Offshore Energy”. How can smart integration of the existing offshore energy infrastructure enable the transition to a sustainable energy system?

The European climate objective – 80 to 95 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 compared to 1990 – requires significant system changes. It is often underestimated how far-reaching the energy transition from fossil fuels to an energy supply largely fed by renewable energy sources actually is.

Why has CCUS not been implemented on a large scale until today? Can CCUS find its way into to chemical and process industry in the near future? What is needed to create an industry pull for this technology?

At this seminar, views will be presented from the policy perspective, the industry and academia perspective. IEA will present the global picture of CCUS and the long term challenges. Shell and Uniper will add the industry view and what drives there business decisions in relation to CCUS. AVR will present their ambition to realize a circular process in waste incineration processes.

We want to achieve the next level: under the banner of “Game Changers in Oil & Gas” we want to get active and assign clear tasks to everyone who is committed to contribute proactively.

In the evening program a select group of presenters will give inspiring speeches illustrating new collaboration models, introduce startup companies as promising business model, and give an insight on innovation and partner models in the aerospace industry.

Beside an introduction of the innovation program on System Integration and the new R&D call in the Topsector Energy we will share some practical experiences of oil and gas operators with connecting their oil and gas operations with renewable energy sources. Participate in our Community Network and discuss on the challenges with a focus on system integration with the objective to learn about opportunities for collaborative innovation.

“Are yesterdays innovations in oil and gas the key to a reliable, efficient and sustainable future energy supply for the coming decades? What technology will help us to keep oil and gas available and affordable? And how can we ensure that they are an environmentally and socially acceptable part of the energy mix?”

Main topic for this first event was “Ongoing innovations for a sustainable future”.
